Cederhusen is one of the largest wooden house projects in the world in an inner-city environment with 245 homes and about 21500 square meters of light BTA.
The project has a design language typical of Stockholm with rising plinth floors, articulated eaves, neat balconies and bay windows facing the street together with clear entrances - all to enrich the common urban space. The two blocks connect to the intended urban pattern of the area, with circular courtyards and towers rising towards Norra Stationsparken.
The wooden facades are an interpretation of Stockholm's classic stone city architecture with its clear order and structure. The stone city's plaster and stone are here replaced by a plinth floor, facade and frieze entirely in wood. The chip material acts as a plaster to give the facade surface a coherent homogeneous expression.
